S.F. Supervisor Looks to Shield HIV Survivors from Rent Spikes

Posted on May 23, 2016

I recently introduced legislation to extend rent control protections to people who receive the HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) rental assistance voucher. It is unacceptable that the current system allows for people living with HIV on fixed incomes to be excluded from rent control. It is my hope to quickly pass this legislation and provide residents who receive HOPWA the same protections as any other person in a rent controlled unit.
